For every can of food donated to the Food Bank through Parking Services from Nov. 2 - Dec . 3 1 , $ 1 will be deducted from a ticket's late fee. "We try to help the students by allowing them to help the community," said Tena Medina, office manager of Parking and Transportation Services. "And, at the same time, they can help themselves by reducing their late fees." Almost every student who has received a parking citation is familiar with the costs that can accumulate if the ticket goes unpaid. Usually, if the ticket is paid within the first 10 calendar days the cost of the ticket is $10. However, if the student doesn't pay the ticket within the time given, the fine doubles. For this reason, many students look forward to the time of year when they can donate canned food items to reduce the late fees. "This is the most important time of year to give to the Food Bank," said Medina. "Hopefully, students will feel the holiday spirit and donate the food." Last year, Parking Services collected 2,500 pounds of food from students who took advantage of this exchange. Only canned food items that have not expired will be accepted for the reduced late fees. Because Parking Services is a drop-off ' location for the Utah Food Bank, they also welcome boxed food items, such as macaroni and cheese, ramen noodles, stuffing and cereal as donations that will not count toward the reduced late fees. .

Blake Donner and Jennifer Lynn Galbraith, along with their friends Scott McDonald and Ariel Singer, drowned early August 2005 while swimming to an underground chamber through an underwater passageway. Donner, committed to pushing boundaries and improving the human condition, was willing to color outside the lines. He sang in a punk rock band called Parallax and was involved in the Food Not Bombs charity organization. Galbraith, his girlfriend, was outgoing and passionate and was concerned with women's issues. Donner, son of English professor Laura Hamblin; and Galbraith, daughter of Dorice Galbraith who works as administrative support of the English department, were both well known on campus. The Dean of the College of Humanities Arts of Social Sciences at the time, William Cobb, sought to memorialize the well-loved students and reach out to his coworkers with a private scholarship."We needed something to keep their memory alive," said Cobb. A scholarship was formed with very specific criteria for its recipients. Students could not apply, but rather had to be nominated.

As dean, Cobb could put department money into the fund, but only with the help of community and university members was he able to endow the scholarship in less than a - year. Dennis Potter, a good friend of Donner' s and professor of Philosophy, held concerts in Center Stage with Donner' s bandmates and other local musicians.

The Women's Resource Center (WRC), located in LC 405K, is a place where displaced homemakers, victims of abuse and those struggling academically or financially can access information and support to help them further their education. "I help women through the difficult times in their lives," said Peggy Pasin, the WRC Coordinator. "I have such an energy for it because of the life transformations I see." As coordinator since 1998, Pasin continues to run the centersingle-handedly. With a background in domestic violence and sexual assault training, Pasin recently won the Family Violence Prevention Award for her work in the center. "I work with about 250 women per semester, and about 50 of those are survivors of domestic violence," Pasin said. Considering that Utah is number two in the nation for domestic violence, it is likely that many more women are dealing with this issue than come forward each semester. According to Wom-enWwwork.org, there are 50,151 displaced home-makers and 96,754 single mothers in Utah. For these women, getting an education while earning sufficient income to support children is nearly impossible.
